So I guess I'll start with my trip to San Diego..
The first night I was there we stopped at an In 'N Out.. GOOD food!! Wish we had one. Then we went around to where Marc works and played on watercraft (my friend Erica and her husband Marc is who I stayed with- they live in Camp Pendleton in Oceanside.) The next day we went to the San Diego Zoo.. it's HUGE, you can't get through it in a day! Wednesday we decided to go to L.A. and go to like Hollywood Blvd and such. We found the infamous "HOLLYWOOD" sign and those stars.. I forget what you call them but those pink stars every famous person is on. Even though LA is only about an hour away it takes MUCH longer to get there because of the traffic. We also went to something called the "La Brea Tar Pits".. remember that movie Volcano? Well there's a scene in there with it in there.. Then Thursday we kinda just hung out until dinner which was at the Medieval Times. It was pretty awesome! Maybe I'll post links to my photos from Facebook. I got pretty tipsy before we went in.. I had this HUGE 24 oz. glass.. I think it was a Hurricane.. the bartender was flirting with me and said he'd throw in a few extra shots, then he warned me not to drink it too fast because I wouldn't be able to taste it, but of course I didn't listen and almost told him there wasn't anything in my drink-lol.. I also had like half of Erica's drink too so that didn't help. The next day we left for Vegas. We stayed there until Sunday. We mostly just walked to all the casinos. We still didn't even get to see everything. I wanted to do more, but I was trying as hard as I could to limit myself financially. But it was still an experience :) I learned what the "tap-tap" dudes/card passers were. I lost money when I gambled, but at the very end of our trip I won $100 back at Circus Circus :) Monday night we went to see "The Hangover" and I think it was just that much funnier because we had just came back from Vegas.. in fact I said, oh man I totally didn't do it right, we need to go back! ha.. Tuesday we just (still recovered) because of how busy we had been. Then I came back home Wednesday. I might be leaving stuff out, but that was already a month ago! I can't believe it.
Then I was here for 2 weeks.. the first weekend I was here my bff came into town and she and I had a great time together. We stayed at my friend Gerald's house.. (there was a weird moment there, but I don't think either one of us are really phased by it-he's such a sweetie anyway) I've known him since at least 8th grade, don't know if it was sooner.. Then on Tuesday my friend came down to spoil me :) We went to the beach that afternoon/evening with some friends of mine. When we get back we take showers and grab some dinner at Taco Cabana and have a sort of heart to heart. Thing is, he has a girlfriend.. when this first started, things were a little different, but now he's living with her, and things seem more serious. I told myself that since I was single, I'm not in the wrong and that if he got married or I got into a relationship, it would have to stop.. but I still feel guilty every once in a while. Then I was curious as to how many other "me's" there were. I came at it in an unrude way, and sort of at a different angle. He's like Erika, you're the only other person I am with, yes it would be very easy for me to have "out of town girlfriends" but I just don't. Most of the time I am just tired and hang out in my hotel room. I told him-you know, we don't always have to do what we do right? I mean, if you changed your mind about it I would completely understand and we could just hang out as strictly friends. He says oh I know.. I would tell you if that were the case, but it's not :) He just really wants me to be happy, and enjoys my company. I went to KC's the next night with Joenie, Rosario, and Marco.. (the Italian boys).. Friday afternoon I helped put together little cookie bags for the wedding. (One of my good friend's mom got married on the 20th).. the next day I went to a pool party with the Italians. I'll back up a little here- one weekend that Joenie and I went out to Aria, we noticed some guys that didn't seem like they were from here. Sure enough, they were from Italy.. they're all pilots with either the Italian Navy, or Italian Coast Guard, etc. They're doing training here. Well Jo and I walk into the pool area and both our jaws drop. I'm like, did we die and go to heaven? There's like 15 gorgeous, tall, tan Italians all in the pool.. all speaking Italian or with that sexy accent in English (ladies-you get my drift).. then on top of that there are about another 10-15 of our boys too (tall sexy pilot men).. we were having so much of a good time though that we end up running late for the wedding. We go to the reception out at King's Crossing.. after we go downtown to Aria to meet up with the Italians.
My night gets pretty interesting from here.. skippylikepb.livejournal.com/2009/02/22/I wrote about "J" there.. well as Jo and I start to go in, out of the corner of my eye I see a couple guys walking next to us, but I only see their clothes because I am thinking, they're not going to let them in like that (board shorts and flip-flops).. then we decide to go upstairs after a minute and when I turn towards the door those 2 guys are coming in and I recognize both. It's J and his friend. I'm like omg you've gotta be kidding me. I thought he had left a long time ago like in April. I tell Jo but she doesn't think it's him. So we go upstairs to say hello to some friends that were having a party. When we come back down, we find the Italians and start dancing. One of the guys, Christian, is dancing with me and he's being really silly making me laugh. I'm dancing with him for a while and when I turn I see J staring right at me, grinning. I'm like whaaat.. and tell Jo and she's like oh my that IS them. I'm trying to ignore him, but he doesn't go away. He's like maybe 5 feet away from us and just keeps staring at me and grinning. His friend waves me over (I can tell he must be trashed, because he's actually a pretty quiet guy) and he gives me this huge hug and is laughing asking how I've been. I turn to J and say hello and we talk for a couple minutes, then I'm like well I'm gonna keep dancing, bye! But then again, Jo says my gosh Erika he won't stop staring at you! I say I know, isn't it weird? I talk to him again for a minute.. then Jo and I decide to go upstairs again. We tell all the boys we'll be back. Well Jo and I are saying hi to some friends and Jo's like, unbelievable! I'm like what?! She says guess who followed you?! I turn and sure enough J and his friend are standing just a few feet from us, once again just staring and smiling. I walk over to him and say, what are you doing? He says, what? Just looking at you.. I say no, you're stalking me! He laughs and says, yea I might be blowing up your spot. He still just keeps staring so intently that I'm kinda like ok.. we're talking and even the guys that we stopped to say hello to are asking Jo, who's that guy Erika's with? He's like right up on her! I mean, his body is like right up against mine and I feel like any second he's gonna try and kiss me. He's making me laugh though, so is his friend because he's so drunk he's acting like a retard. We go back downstairs and after that he doesn't let me out of his sight. He asks me, what's gotten into you, you're different. I say how do you mean and he says, I don't know, like sexier or something. I'm thinking, it's probably because I feel like a pimp this week-haha! I feel bad because I feel like I ditched Christian, and he won't even look at me. I decide to keep a little farther away with J, you know, just in case something develops later-haha.. we dance a while and go and sit down with Jo and Rosario. He starts kissing me and stuff and then wants me to dance with him some more.. when we leave we end up taking him home.. I say bye to the Italian boys and make sure I say bye to Christian and he does and says we'll see each other soon. Well I decide to stay with J that night, and wow.. I've never had someone so.. into me. He's a very passionate lover. The kind where it takes an hour to get to where you're headed? lol.. kisses ALL over your body.. as if they're hungry for you.. at one point he's like omg your body feels amazing.. and then I laughed because that stupid John Mayer song popped into my head "Your Body is a Wonderland".. even when I asked for a change of clothes to get out of my dress when I first got there, he finds some and when handing them to me just drops them and grabs me and pushes me against his wall and starts kissing me.. I'm like man I can get used to this.. but I know I can't.. bc he's supposed to be leaving in a few days' time.
Sunday was Father's Day and we spent it at home, making food and such. Monday night I went to go return clothes to J.. I wore his p.j. pants home because I didn't wanna put back on my dress and 5-inch hooker heels. I thought he would want to hang out, but he's acting kinda weird so I'm like well Jo and I are doing this and that if you want something to do.. I go and play Phase 10 at her house.. Tuesday night we go to KC's with Marco, Rosario, and Fabio.. I end up singing a LOT for once.. Wednesday night J texts me and says he's getting tired (I had text him the night before and invited like I said I would) but we don't go out until late and he crashes.. we go to Whiskey River with the Italians- not much happens-Christian doesn't go either.. then Thursday night I go to my dad's for my brother's birthday and then leave to San Antonio for my next trip..
